Sunday is chore day
I did chores today! Honest!
Err... so I went through two huge boxes of clothes that my dad had sent me from Philly a while ago back when I lived in the big house with Eli and had lots of storage space. I basically separated it into three piles -- one pile of "this should be thrown out because I will not wear it and it is not even fit to give to Goodwill", one pile of "this should go to Goodwill because I will never wear it again, but it's in decent shape" and one pile of "I'm keeping this, though mostly for sentimental reasons". The Goodwill pile was pretty big, and infact filled up the two boxes pretty well once I put in some other stuff I'd set aside for Goodwill.
(Now I just need to find the time to take my stuff over to Goodwill. My guess is I won't be able to until next weekend... I guess I could go before work maybe.)
The sad thing was just seeing clothes and remembering various things. I will never wear the stuff again, but just little memories like "This is the sweater I wore almost every day in the winter of 6th grade" or "this is the dress I wore to my highschool graduation" or "here's the hat and scarf I knitted during 15-211" or my class of '88 and class of '90 shirts, and girl scout uniforms, and my highschool letter jacket. (Trivia would be if any of you know what I got my letters in back in highschool. I'll give you a hint and tell you that neither one is from an actual sport.)
Now I have more room in my hall closet, so I put some more of my folded up boxes in there, and cleared a space under the counter to put my videotapes bookcase there, so it is no longer in front of the vent, so in theory if I ever need to heat this room, I can. Moving the bookcase was the goal for the day, so I guess I should be happy with that. Still lots more cleaning to do though.
I went to Blue C for dinner briefly because I needed sushi. And in the evening I watched Ever After (the movie with Drew Barrymore as Cinderella) while moving around stuff. Sadly, I have to rewatch movies while actually doing other things. I can't pay enough attention to a new movie while cleaning; or I'll pay attention to the movie and not actually clean.
It's really cold out.
Back to work tomorrow for real. I really hope I can focus. Need to get the car checked up, too - another chore to take care of.

Two letters? Grrrrr. I only know how you got one of them. No prize for me.

I had several friends who got varsity letters for chess, though. I didn't know how to play bridge until I got to college.

Learned chess in junior high school, and the chess team was the only afterschool activity I really bothered with. Don't play much these days... last time I played, it was against someone who wanted to be able to take back bad moves, which takes a lot of the fun out of the game for me. "Er, I just threw away that pawn in the hope you would capture it and foolishly leave this more valuable piece unguarded. You fell for it, and now I'm supposed to let you have the piece back? Huh?"

So I have two highschool symbols of "I am cool and competitive", except they're for singing and doing math problems, not sports. It's sort of like how we used to earn our Intramural Champions t-shirts every year for playing bridge. I did get several IC shirts for volleyball, but the majority were for sitting around playing cards. Go figure.
